"When I got slapped across the face the other day, that was a real slap," the former UFC bantamweight champion told "The Ellen Show." "There's no real way to fake that. They don't bring out the rubber hand or something for me."
The slap reportedly even left a mark on Rousey's face:
Btw. That was a legit slap by Stephanie McMahon. Heard from some folks backstage that Ronda Rousey has a handprint welt on her face π
